EMPIRE - Nick Fradiani

In the darkest of days

Sometimes we find out who we are

Be the change, or the hit the bottom hit it hard

We have a choice, ya we can take the power away

And turn it into something to believe in, believe it

It’s up to you.

It’s up to you

Voices rising like a church choir

Light it up like a wildfire

Sending these dreams higher and higher and higher

Till they come to life

Tired of feeling like an outsider

Made to believe I was an outlier

I’m not the only one who’s inspired

We’re gonna turn these dreams

Into an Empire, Empire

The pain into an Empire, Empire

The rage into an Empire, Empire

We’re gonna build it up, gonna build it up

Empire

Won’t see us walking away

Cause now we made it this far

We ain’t ashamed, we ain’t ashamed of who we are

We made a choice

This army’s here to stay

And trust me this is something to believe in, achieve it

It’s up to you

It’s up to you

Voices rising like a church choir

Light it up like a wildfire

Sending these dreams higher and higher and higher

Till they come to life

Tired of feeling like an outsider

Made to believe I was an outlier

I’m not the only one who’s inspired

We’re gonna turn these dreams

Into an Empire, Empire

The pain into an Empire, Empire

The rage into an Empire, Empire

We’re gonna build it up, gonna build it up

Empire

This is it

It’s our time to rise up

No one can stop us

Brick by brick we’ll break this wall that’s closing in, no, no

And this moment now, we’re proud and we’re free and we’re brave!

Voices rising like a church choir

Light it up like a wildfire

Sending these dreams higher and higher and higher

Till they come to life

Tired of feeling like an outsider

Made to believe I was an outlier

I’m not the only one who’s inspired

We’re gonna turn these dreams

Into an Empire, Empire

The pain into an Empire, Empire

The rage into an Empire, Empire

We’re gonna build it up, gonna build it up

Into an Empire…

We’re gonna build it up, gonna build it up
